Like a soil ph meter? Those are useless. Get a PH pen, even a cheap one and some calibration solution off amazon. Check your input and runoff ph. And ppm is measured with a tds/ppm meter you can get for the price of a cheap meter. Test runoff ph and see if it's high. And if you arent getting...

Which lights?

Okay cool. If you raised them to so that they are just higher off all the plants and make it flat and even i think you'd be surprised though. They look hungry to me. Not just cal/mag. I would up your nutes but first what is your ph and ppm runoff? Before upping the nutes, fix those first.

Honestly i dont remember right now exactly why. Maybe @nfhiggs can chime in. You could use the IR with the natural 3000k/3500k spectrum if you wanted to. But no need to add far reds really.

Well I would suggest mixing 3000k and 3500k just to get a little more blue for veg and for possibly more trichomes/colors in flower. Emerson effect does nothing above 400ppfd. But if you go low ppfd and use emerson it's very effective.

Yeah that would be nice. Or if you get a price break going all single color temp, do that instead. Otherwise,it would be great. I might add in some ir strips or uv if i wanted to play with it. Otherwise, the strips are good enough. @Takeshy did a 5x5 grow which is not far off, and he did a crazy...

Samsung F series strips :)

No kidding. It's tough to see deficiencies and stuff under blurple and even an hps bulb (especially an older one, they loose their blue over time). Gotta look at them every once and a while lights off with a CFL bulb or a camera with flash. I'm loving white so far. Been using blurples for too...

Actually I think i am okay. I just went over the nectar for the gods unofficial bible and I forgot that the PPM of the SLURRY test is supposed to be 200-500ppm, not the ppm of the RUNOFF lol! Just took a slurry test and it read 154ppm (distilled water) and 6.5 PH. So I am fine in that regard...

Fox farms ocean forest. And yea i see what you're talking about. But you can flush out at least the available nutrient ions and it will be a while before the PPM would go up again in my experience using ocean forest. Like i said i usually dont feed until the first or second week of flower...

Not true.... Organic nutrients are the same ions as synthetic nutes. They are no different.

I've done my research on UV and IR. And am aware how it affects your plants. I am just telling him to get his LEDs all set up and get used to them before throwing UV and IR into the equation. Lol and a noob with 1 sick plant.... okay. I've been pulling a pound+ from 420w of shitty blurple...

If using synthetic nutes, yes lol Otherwise microbes got you.

I usually dont feed until i flip in soil, or even 2 weeks into flower. But nectar for the gods is a really unique organic nute line that is calcium based, and the plant needs to get used to it before flowering. And if your ppm are over 500ppm, it will cause issues with the calcium, tanking...

I need to flush to remove the nutrients in the soil. nectar for the gods only works properly if the soil is 300-500ppm. And I need to get the plant used to nectar before it goes into flower from what I have heard from others. I just flushed before lights went off though, and i took pics the...

Update pic again, veg is going crazy now. Lights just turned on. Pulled the 2 top stems down a bit to level out the plant. Watered today with recharge and a herculean harvest flush... my fucking runoff ppm was 2800! Need to get this soil flushed out asap as it will fuck with nectar for the...

So overpriced though :( LEDgardener has complete part lists with links for led strip builds. AND wiring diagrams. It's fool proof. You could do strips for half the price as a timber cob light, and it will be a better light.

CXB3590 are a waste of money nowdays. At $45 per cob, plus $20-30 per heatsink, you're at $65-75 per COB total. And you'd wanna run at 50w or so. Samsung F series strips or quantum boards are the way to go. A single 22" single row samsung F series strip PLUS heatsink is $17 or so. And can run...

Yes you use all 3 products to harvest. Just mix up the ratios as you need more PK in flower than N. Btw, you need to level those led panels out LOL. Having them all wonkey like that just fucks up the light spread royally. What is your ph runoff and ph going in?
